DRESS ON THE STAGE.
Mrs. Booths 'sJIm the Penman"
Cost over S1,2OO.

Mrs. Booth gave ready and willing
answer to rather impertinent question
the other day, says New York cores
pondent in the Philadelphia NelUS.
"What is the cost of the dresses you
wear in Jim the Penman?'" "a little
over 81 200" was her answer. And you
bear all that expense yourself"' "No,
it is stipulation in my contract that
whenever more than one new dress is re-
quired for play Mr.. Palmer is to fur
nish one dress, and Of course when there
are two or three, he gets the bill for the
most expensive ones. In this case he
pays a little more than $400 for the re-
ception dress which | wear in the last
act"
"What becomes of the dresses after
the play is done? ?"
"They are useless perfectly so. Peo-
pie who go to the Madison Square expect
to see fresh dresses with new play, and
there are scores Of ladies who would at
once detect the first attempt to make over
the materials that had been worn in an
other dress. Of course, if play were a
failure or had a very short run. one would
be justified in using in the next piece any
OF the dresses which might be found
available, but if any play had run long
enough 80 tnaC any dress USED IN tne re-
presentation had been identified with it,
| think nearly all the feminine portion of
the audience would resent the imposition
OF a secondhand dress as vigorously as
the keen dramatic critic does
at any effort TO palm off any
old material as new. Nor is the first
cost OF the dress the end of it. All the
garments that | wear in this piece
would have to 90 back to the dress
makers at least once in every fortnight
to see that no stitches are giving way,
bits OF lace freshened up or renewed, and
every vestige OF stage wear removed if
possible. And then, when you come to
think about it, no matter how good the
material, after dress has been put on
and taken off 100 or $50 times, and stood
the chances of being thrown onto the
floor, no matter how gracefully you may
faint, there must be some damage to a
dress. If the run OF Jim the Penman
continues right through to the end of the
season, as seems likely, shall certainly
have to get an entirely new set OF dresses
before spring"
